Chapter 41: Advice
"He mixed sand into the relief rice porridge and asked the refugees to work for the Wuwang Mansion, using half of their money or grain as compensation. This not only won the hearts of the people for our Wuwang Mansion, but also solved our problem of insufficient manpower to a certain extent. It's really a good plan. I didn't expect him to come up with such a disaster relief and national governance strategy."
After listening to his subordinates' report, Lord Mo's expression changed slightly and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Every time he inadvertently revealed something, it always surprised and surprised them.
It's a pity that he cannot be used completely for his own benefit, otherwise with the ability Lai Yang has shown now.
Be it military force or wisdom, it will definitely be a great help to their rebellion.
But Lord Mo selfishly didn't really want Lai Yang to join them in the rebellion.
It is a good thing that he is willing to stay in Beijiang City and stay by Mo Ruyan's side to protect her.
Although he had made sufficient preparations, it was not so easy to overthrow Yan Chengtian's rule. Even a powerful martial arts grandmaster would be at risk of falling.
If something happened to Lai Yang, how would he face his two daughters again?
Therefore, Lord Mo would tolerate everything Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan did.
Even though Mo Ruyan often took out precious skills from the Prince Wu's Mansion and gave them to the other party to practice, he deliberately pretended not to know and had no intention of letting anyone stop him.
Yan Chengtian is in the Great Yan Imperial City. He is blessed with the powerful national destiny of Great Yan and his strength is unfathomable.
Even a fifth-rank martial arts grandmaster is no match for Yan Chengtian in the imperial city. Unless they can lure Yan Chengtian out of the imperial city and encircle and kill him, they can only find ways to weaken the national destiny of the Great Yan Dynasty as much as possible, and then weaken Yan Chengtian's power.
Based on Lord Mo's understanding of Yan Chengtian's character, he was suspicious, timid and cautious by nature. It would be extremely difficult to lure him out of the imperial city and then ambush and kill him.
It would be more practical to directly send a large army to attack the city and cooperate with another king of a different surname to fight all the way to the imperial city.
When the spring snow melts, he will lead his troops south to capture cities.
However, he still had a huge worry, which was the threat from outside the border of Beijiang City - the northern barbarians.
If they got the news and launched an all-out attack while Beijiang City was short of troops, once Beijiang City was captured, their retreat would be completely cut off.
Once you are caught in a dilemma, there will be no recovery.
Therefore, he had to have someone to guard the Beijiang City Fortress for him.
For this, Lord Mo already has a candidate in mind.
He planned to leave 100,000 men to guard Beijiang City to resist possible attacks from northern barbarians, while he himself would lead 300,000 troops and all the Silver Armored Army to march south.
If he succeeds, he will be the supreme ruler and hold the world in his hands; if he fails, he will die on the battlefield and be infamous for eternity.
"Is there any movement in the north recently?"
"No news has been received yet."
"Well, keep a close eye on it and report any signs of trouble at any time."
"As you command, my lord."
…
Inside the tent of the northern barbarian king.
"Are there any reports from spies in Beijiang City?"
Kemmerdal sat on the throne. He was more than two meters tall, with a sturdy build, strong limbs, and bulging muscles containing explosive power. He looked down at everyone and asked.
"It is rumored that our King Tongwu has fallen out with the current Emperor of Dayan, so the city has been sealed off for many days. We suspect that he may be preparing for a rebellion."
"King, this is a godsend opportunity. Once King Tongwu rebels, our army can take advantage of the situation and march south to occupy the natural fortress of Beijiang City. Once we successfully occupy Beijiang City, the Great Yan Dynasty will be nothing more than our breeding farm."
"But the spies we planted in Beijiang City haven't sent back any news for a long time. I'm afraid they have all..."
"It doesn't matter. Once Lord Mo goes to war with the Great Yan Emperor, there is no way he will hide the news of his troops from us. We just need to wait for the right time."
"Your Majesty, your subject Suo Yingzhuo has a suggestion."
At this moment, a counselor in the king's tent stood up and spoke respectfully.
Everyone turned their eyes quietly to the person who spoke.
The other person did not look strong. Instead, his physique seemed very thin and out of place among the crowd.
His face was not as rough as those of the barbarians, but more like that of the people of Dayan.
He is a hybrid of northern barbarians and the Great Yan people. His mother was abducted by the barbarians when they moved south and was forced to give birth to him.
This kind of thing is not new here, but rather very common.
The barbarians worship the strong. Many of them are mixed-race and have never been taken seriously.
Due to their physical disadvantages, mixed-race children are often bullied and beaten by strong barbarians.
However, Suoyinzhuo was able to rely on his intelligence and talent to sit in a position second only to the barbarian king Kemerdar and the general, ranking third among them.
Even though everyone had opinions about him in their hearts and looked down on him as a mixed-race bastard, because the Barbarian King valued him and needed him to give them advice, they did not dare to show it openly.
Seeing Suo Yingzhuo stand up, everyone immediately quieted down and waited for him to speak.
"Soyingzhuo, what do you want to say?" Kemmerdal stared at Soyingzhuo with his majestic tiger eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
Suo Yingzhuo bowed and spoke slowly:
"Great King, Dayan once said: There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."
"As long as there are common interests, former enemies can become friends. I think we can form an alliance with King Tongwu. If King Tongwu wants to rebel against Da Yan, he will definitely need a large number of troops. We can agree to cooperate with him in the attack, and then take advantage of the chaotic situation to plunder Da Yan's wealth, take back their women and food, and strengthen our tribe. If he succeeds in the rebellion, we can ask him in advance to give up Beijiang City and several nearby cities to us after the rebellion is successful."
Kmerdal pondered for a while, as if thinking about the feasibility of the other party's plan.
"What if his rebellion fails?"
"If the rebellion fails, Lord Mo and the Great Yan Dynasty will certainly suffer heavy losses. Our army and warriors have already entered the pass. It will be easy for us to seize Beijiang City. Once Beijiang City falls into our hands, the Great Yan Dynasty will be our meat at our fingertips. We can control it at will."
"Your idea is good, but have you ever thought about what would happen if Lord Mo disagrees?"
Suo Yingzhuo shook his head with a confident expression.
"As far as I know, our King Tongwu is definitely not a man without ambition. We are on guard against him, and he is also on guard against our attack. If he is unwilling to agree to our request, he knows what kind of situation he will face. We have given him such a good opportunity, and as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely agree to us."
"We helped him take over the Great Yan Dynasty and sit on the throne, and we only want a few cities, and some of the women and wealth of Great Yan. This is a win-win strategy. Why shouldn't he agree to our request? Even if he really doesn't want to agree, it won't hurt us. We can just wait for the right time. When he goes to war with the Great Yan Emperor and his army is exhausted, we can mobilize all our forces to take over Beijiang City and watch him and the Great Yan Emperor fight each other."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, with a hint of fear and awe in their eyes.
I have to say that these tactical players have really dirty hearts.
Face to face with life and death, they are all brave warriors who are not afraid. What they fear is being killed for no apparent reason.
Kemmerdal laughed loudly, waved his hand and shouted:
"Hahaha, good, Suo Yingzhuo is worthy of being my think tank, just as you said, come here!"
